  15. Guests on campus… • Please note that individuals need an ID card to enter the Trinity College campus premises after 12midnight. This means that you can bring no unregistered friends or guests back to your rooms after 12midnight. You will need to keep your own ID card on you at all times. • If the students have a guest coming to stay at Trinity College for a number of days, an individual reservation should be made for this guest and payment should be made at the Accommodation Office. • The guest policy at Corrib Village needs to be confirmed, but you will have key card access to your building. Do not abuse this.

  16. Your Space at New Square • Clean towels are provided. • Linen is changed every week. • Guests are responsible for cleaning the kitchen area, bathroom and removing rubbish (bin bags will be provided). Don’t be this guy!

  17. Living at National University of Ireland, Galway (Corrib Village)

  18. Fast facts about Corrib Village: • You will be housed in singles in a shared apartment. • Wireless internet available in rooms and throughout campus. • You will receive lunch Monday-Friday which is included in program fee and will be available on campus. • Each apartment has a living area with T.V and the kitchen includes a dishwasher. • Pots, utensils, basic amenities provided. • 15-20 minute walk from town. • Shuttle bus provided during the day. • Reception is open 24 hours daily.

  19. Real Talk… • These dorms ARE less centrally located than the ones at TCD. • You have a free shuttle service during the day (for going grocery shopping in town or making the trip to the plays even though most theatres located closer to campus than far side of our small City Centre, where you would be dropped). • BUT the walk is more than manageable, and you will have no trouble finding and sharing taxis at reasonable rates if you are out late as it is not a long trip • Galway is safe, but becomes a party town at night especially during the summer, so exercise caution and stay together.

  20. General Amenities in Corrib Village • Shop – open 7 days a week 08:30am – 22:00pm • Basic needs. Limited Tesco (grocery store) located at other far side of campus. Larger grocery stores such as Dunnes in town. • Launderette – Open 7 days a week 07.00am to 23.00pm - coin operated • Restaurant – serving Continental breakfast, open 07.00am – 11.00am (not included in program fee)
